06-28 build OS 10.1.5 1. Go to cnn.com 2. File->Save As->cnn.html on desktop. 3. Open cnn.html from desktop. Expected result: page opened from locally saved file should look the same as live page. Actual result: page opened from locally saved file appears with two repeated rows at the top. This problem doesn't occur on all pages. Another page that exhibits this problem is www.netscape.com Attaching screenshots from live web pages and saved pages for comparison purposes.

Notice that the some of the left menu items have been shifted vertically as well.
This is the problem. A document.write() adds content to the model. When the 'save page as...' code dumps out the tree, it serializes both the original document.write in a <script> block, and the generated content. The following page... <html> <body> <script> tophat="<p>one instance</p>"; </script> <script> document.write(tophat); </script> </body> </html> ... looks like this when save to disk: <html><head></head> <body> <script> tophat="<p>one instance</p>"; </script> <script> document.write(tophat); </script><p>one instance</p> </body></html> (By the way, I did this in the current machv trunk, so there is nothing specific to chimera about this. Who owns the code that saves the file?).
Actually, you don't need two script elements. That's just leftover from the way the "tophat" code on cnn.com and netscape.com is constructed. The following is the minimum testcase: <html> <body> <script> document.write("<p>one instance</p>"); </script> </body> </html>
